Gord, the choice is yours, but I wouldn't convert your application to Angular, just to be able to use data from your Progress database in a html page.

Kendo is just one of the options to implement the "glue" you're talking about, but it is the one which is best supported in this community, I expect.

Even though most examples use specific kendo widgets, you don't need those to show data from your back-end.

Kendo has quite a few special widgets, but also supports binding with default HTML input fields, like fill-ins, checkboxes and radio sets. They are just not seen as "Kendo widgets", but you can still bind them to data, just like other Kendo widgets.

These are some simple binding samples (of MVVM, but you can bind directly to a datasource too):

This app is built using Telerik Platform and uses latest JSDO (4.4) libraries. Please click on
Try in AppBuilderlink to see the working application in your Telerik Platform environment. This app uses Listview control for displaying the data (fetched from OpenEdge) and selecting a record in listview shows
respective record details in a detail page.

Thanks and Regards,

In the sample Anil mentioned, if you look at detailView.html or editDetailView.html, you will see that they contain HTML elements that are bound to data model properties which correspond to the selected row of the ListView control

I'm still unhappy about this because it leaves my question unanswered. It looks to me as if the OpenEdge datasource is connected to the Kendo widget and then the HTML elements are connected to elements in the rows of the Kendo widget.

So the example shows

OpenEdge --> Kendo --> HTML

and I'm still trying to figure out how to do

OpenEdge --> HTML

I am hoping there is a simple way to do this that can be shown off.

Cheers,

Maybe there must be some sort of *glue* between the OpenEdge datasource and the HTML...

If that is the answer then must it be Kendo? Are they any other options?

If the answer is that I must have a Kendo widget in between the OpenEdge datasource and the HTML then do I have to display the Kendo object in my mobile app?

Imagine the simplest possible Telerik mobile app. It requests 1 record from the OpenEdge datasource and then wants to display a field of character data in an HTML text box. That is what I'm trying to figure out how to do.
